RAAC Surveys in West Sussex

RAACScan provides RAAC surveys, identification and condition assessment across West Sussex, where the Department for Education has confirmed RAAC in schools at Horsham, and where the new town of Crawley concentrates RAAC-era stock. From Crawley and Worthing to Chichester and the coast, we find reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete in roofs and floors and grade its condition. Every RAAC survey is carried out in line with the Institution of Structural Engineers' guidance on reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.

West Sussex's RAAC-era building stock

West Sussex combines confirmed RAAC schools with a large post-war public and coastal estate, and the new town of Crawley, built rapidly in the peak RAAC era. The county used RAAC roof and floor panels in its post-war schools and civic buildings, from Crawley and Horsham to the coastal towns of Worthing, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. That makes the area a clear priority for survey and assessment.

The Department for Education has confirmed RAAC at The College of Richard Collyer and Greenway Junior School, both in Horsham. We name these publicly identified settings to show that RAAC is a live local issue across West Sussex, not to imply we have worked on them.
